Unhappy so it goes like this

My Girl was rushing me to go xmas shopping and she was parked behind me in her RAV 4 and we were taking her car to the mall, Not my sweet beauty of a car is250 looking all nice, well that is until it happened.......she was taking her sweet time and i was backing up and i open the door to tell her to move and i had my foot on the brake and for some reason i let go and the car rolled back and i couldnt catch it in time and it hit her car and put to screw marks from her plate in my bumper and scratched it, she didnt even get out of the car to look or even look like she felt bad and now i cant leave it like that, so i had the bumper taken off and fixed and repainted cost me $300

she probably didn't notice or she could be mad you hit her car.

Sorry to hear that though.

THe car warns you if you open your door when the car is in gear. Pay attention next time.

lol, Rushing her wasn't going to end up in a favorable outcome anyway. AND you were already on your way to go shopping, she could have started an argument that would have cost you much more than $300.

Your car threw itself in your way to save you.

Am I picturing this wrong? She parked behind you and you were taking her car to the mall. If you're both backing out, that means you have to back into the street or whatever to get out of the driveway/lot. Why were you backing out?

My husband is so afraid of something happening to my car that he cringes when he has to drive. Actually... I think he's more afraid of my reaction if something did happen to it!

Sorry about the bump up.
